Drawing. The sun is shining from the left and slightly towards the viewer; the sky is mainly blank, though a cloud hangs over the distant horizon of conical hilltops near the left-hand edge of the picture. Below, there are glimpses of the three-masted boat facing left, but almost obscured by leafy shrubs growing in the midground to the left of a building. This building is shown `gable-on', and has a pitched roof and timber uprights. Its width is approximately 6m. It is open sided, each side having five evenly spaced uprights about 2m tall, and larger central uprights supporting the apex of the roof at about 3.5m. The left-hand line of wall uprights is largely obscured by hanging baskets; to the right of these, a figure stands facing towards the interior of the building. One seated figure in the interior faces right, another by the third wallpost from the right sits facing left, and there is a child standing in the centre of the building. Various small objects are sketched indistinctly within the interior. A basket hangs midway along the right-hand side on a thin horizontal crossbeam at walltop height. Behind and to the right of this building there are palm trees, whose fronds are drawn as if indicating a wind blowing from the left; they rise above some shrubby undergrowth. The shadow of the front right-hand corner of the building suggests that the sun is shining from the left. In front of the building on level ground, a mat is spread, measuring approximately 6m x 1m, and annotated: "mat". Its left-hand front corner is upturned, or may be supporting a small object or a crawling baby. A smaller and simpler building is indicated to the right of the bushes and the fully-visible palm tree in the centre, comprising just a pitched roof of battens and thatch which reaches to the ground, its apex supported by central uprights, only the frontmost of which is visible. A storage jar is visible within it. To its right there is a pair of palm trees, and two beached canoes, one obscuring most of the other. Behind these we can see a strip of water and a lightly sketched far shore lined with palms and other smaller vegetation, in front of a gently sloping ridge, behind which a similarly sloping horizon line is visible. In the right foreground there are what may be spherical storage jars or large rounded stones next to a clump of shrubby undergrowth, which is composed of a mixture of oval-leaved, frond-leaved and taller leafy plants.
